Great dude. Has his moments in which he is funny. If i didnt have other classes that took too much of my time i would have done better. He's a kind person and you can tell he loves what he is doing.

Midterm and Final had a failing average, people should not take this class as an easy GE.

Andy is the definition of a girlboss.Not only does he support the right of students to go on strike, he also singlehandedly took over labs when the TAs striked, going above and beyond his professor duties.Also after the midterm, he curved it&offered test corrections which gave back half credit if you pay attention in class, he's pretty funny too.

Lectures are boring and the professor can't teach. Goes off on tangents and talks about irrelevant things. Just watch classes online, go to your section, and pray for a good TA because they're the ones who are helping you pass this class.

EARTH7 . Wyss A R 3 Years Ago

Took EARTH7 as a GE and would probably not take it again. There was a lot of content to memorize so don't consider this an easy A class. Professor was also dry in lecture. Section was good though, TA was helpful and you can easily get As on the labs if you ask for help. If the topic is something you're interested in though, it's not that bad.
